Filed Figures Published

states · class percentile 54

Two kinds of number appear here — neither is a quote.

A filed figure is copied from the state’s own regulator or rating bureau, with the filing and effective date beside it. A filed loss cost is not a rate: your insurer multiplies it by its own loss cost multiplier before applying your experience modification. A cost index ranks states against the median state (1.00); it is modelled, it is not a price, and it is the only figure shown for states whose per-class filings we have not been able to transcribe. We stopped publishing modelled per-$100 estimates after measuring them against the filings — read the calibration measurement.

Your actual premium depends on the carrier's rates, experience modification factor, schedule credits, payroll, claims history, and underwriting. WorkersCompCost.com is not a licensed insurance broker — confirm binding rates with a licensed agent in your state.
